I have the exam next week. I was wondering how different it will be than the STC practice exams. Will the questions be similar in structure and difficulty? I’m consistently scoring in the high 80’s on the practices, but I’m not feeling too great about the real exam!

Freelunch is exactly right, its not that difficult. I was scoring low 80’s on both the Kaplan and STC and ended up with a 94 in an hour and a half. The best advice I received on here as well as in the office was to take the day before the test off and go do something you enjoy like playing golf and then go and get yourself a good dinner. Be relaxed and you’ll do fine.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I have the options chart memorized, the premium/par/discount yield thing, most of the equations, and a few little things memorized. I just don’t know what to expect. They hired a trainee that passed the exam recently and he’s telling me that nothing on the series 7 was what he studied and that it was all new stuff. Guess he’s trying to psych me out. haha.

Know all of the Muni-bond; regulations, and how to use them. I didn’t have that much on options when I took it. Seems like people really study up on options and no one ever has that many questions on them.
